He was stopped by fans in airports. That was different. He was praised at the Pro Bowl by the game’s greats and former greats. Another change this off-season. Then there were the endless lists he suddenly appeared on, like being voted 69th by his peers on...

Former Hurricanes quarterback Brad Kaaya, Miami’s all-time leading passer, is about to get some national exposure ahead of the NFL Draft.
Kaaya, who opted to bypass his senior year and enter the draft, is one of seven quarterbacks that will be featured...

The Dolphins defense was bad this year. Everyone agrees on that without citing chapter and verse on the reasons (thin roster, injuries …) or the dreary statistics (most yards allowed in franchise history, 30th against the run in the league …)
But it...

Bacarri Rambo was out of the NFL, and mentally preparing himself to sell cars back in October before the Miami Dolphins called, and eventually made him Reshad Jones' replacement at safety.

What more could you ask for? The Miami Dolphins crushed New York Jets, 34-13. They kept their playoff hopes moving forward. They swept the Jets for the first time since 2009. They assured their first winning season since 2008.
It sounds like a shopping...

Ryan Tannehill’s role has been exactly as it should be during the Dolphins’ three-game winning streak, meaning he’s been called upon to make timely plays, not most of the plays. It’s an ideal formula that seems sustainable.
Statistically, you’re asking...

When the Jets and Dolphins play, you can expect oddness. This is the game that had the Monday Night Meltdown in the Meadowlands and also Jets' quarterback Geno Smith's perfect rating.
Sunday was another to file away as the Dolphins won, 27-23. The bottom...

Just as everyone had it, right?
The surprise of the NFL Sunday was medicine for the Dolphins season. After five weeks that waffled between acceptable and deplorable, the Dophins played like the team they always said they were in a 30-15 win against...

You know what the rest of the Miami Dolphins' season is about?
Jobs.

That's the National Football League in a nutshell.
Just about everyone will have their...

The record will show that with the game on the line Sunday the Miami Dolphins' defense got pushed back 75 yards as the Seattle Seahawks marched to the winning touchdown.
In the larger view, Dolphins coach Adam Gase saw much to be heartened by in the...

Veteran receiver Doug Baldwin beat young Bobby McCain for a 2-yard pass and the game-winning score. The story behind the play is interesting, though, and underscores what everyone knew about the Dolphins having cornerbacks who need to develop for this...

Excuse the Miami Dolphins for romanticizing about what could have been considering they were brewing the biggest upset of the NFL's season-opening week.
We're talking about an upset the size of Miami's Wildcat-assisted victory over the New England...

Miami Dolphins cornerback Bobby McCain didn't win the starting slot cornerback job during training camp and the preseason. He lost it to Michael Thomas. But the two were alternating in the second half, and it was McCain's turn on what turned out to be the...

The Miami Dolphins had opportunities to defeat Seattle in Sunday’s season opener. They had numerous opportunities. But they blew most of them, and that’s why the Dolphins lost to Seattle, 12-10, at CenturyLink Field.
